I-Man -- I Was Just Being "Sarcastic"

Don Imus just pulled out the S-card -- sarcasm -- to defend himself against charges that he's a straight-up racist.

On his radio show this morning, he said he was just trying to "make a sarcastic point" when he asked yesterday, about arrest-happy NFL player Pacman Jones, "What color is he?" As Imus tried to explain, "What people should be outraged about is that they arrest blacks for no reason. I mean, there's no reason to arrest this kid six times."

As the I-man himself put it: There you go. Now we know.

106. This guy is a complete moron. Time for him (long overdue) to get out of the public limelight and disappear.

109. Oh for Goodness sakes people, he's a DJ!!! Use your own minds. Quit with the racial stereotypes... Treat people the way YOU want to be treated. I frankly don't care what Imus says. I have the option of changing the channel/radio station

114. Adrienne ~ my dear, there are plenty of "hate mongers" on the radio.......................Al "shifty" Sharpton is one of them!

115. I can say I actually wasn't phased by his comment. I'm only part black, but I still have the sense not to freak out over a itty bitty comment. And--Sharpton needs to go away. He doesn't have his priorities straight for the black community; he just sits around waiting for someone to slip up when talking about African Americans. He's like a freaking hound or something.

116. Pacman Jones said today that he would "pray" for Imus.....................now, that is funny! He needs to start "praying" for himself first!

117. HELLO!!!! he's a shock jock... what are they supposed to do but shock u with the comments they make... he's not a Dan Rather or Ted Copple people... get over it already...

118. BrandDeez ~ Oh my, where do I begin with you ignorant ass! America was built on the black mans back? WTF are you smoking? Did you have "special" school books that stated this......................please do yourself and everyone else a favor, go back to school and read the books that were printed properly. The ones you read or had read to you were lies!

One more thing, stop screaming when commenting on the internet!

119. Good Lord, what has happened to the formerly strong America? Must we all dissolve into crying puddles of righteous indignation over every little comment? A comment by Don Imus, however he intended it, will not mean the death of civilization,for heaven's sake. Get a little backbone, people, work on the real problems of this country (this means you, Rev. Al)
There should be enough in your own back yard to keep you busy, don'tcha think?

120. First of all, let's keep this real. There all blacks, jews, latino's, asian's, and white folks all over this world committing the same crimes. Let's not put it all on blacks. Imus, once again, opened his mouth and the same racist b.s. came out of it. I am saddened by some of the comments made about blacks. Those same comments can be made about jews, latino's, asian's and white folks. Maybe we don't realize it, but we are racist to make such comments about another race. We did them wrong (Example 21. Arthur Shawcross) back in the day, and some of us just have not gotten past that. We want to keep it going and continue the insanity. Why would make that statement to your son? I am ashamed of us and those who continue to hide behind their racism. Blacks are too sensitive; I don't see that unless their are being treated unfairly or called a derogatory name. We need to let the hatred go and not teach our children to be cruel.
